Infinis Energy Ltd

Revised Offer

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION

Infinis Energy Limited (“Infinis Energy”)

CashOffer for
Novera Energy plc (“Novera”)

25 November 2009

Revised Cash Offer for Novera

Infinis Energy announces that it yesterday acquired 5,600,000 Novera Shares, representing approximately 3.9 per cent. of the existing share capital of Novera, from a single shareholder, at a price of 75 pence per Novera Share.

Pursuant to Rule 6.2 of the City Code, Infinis Energy is therefore pleased to announce a revised cash offer for Novera of 75 pence per Novera Share(the "Revised Offer").

This Revised Offer is at a premium to where the shares have traded for a considerable period of time.

Novera has traded at a 52 week low of 29.0 pence per share (19 December 2008) and at an average share price of 40.8 pence per share in the period between 1 December 2008 and 6 October 2009 (being the last Business Day prior to the Announcement Date).

The Revised Offer represents a premium of approximately:

55.4per cent. to the closing middle market price of 48.3 pence per Novera Share on 6 October 2009; and

71.4 per cent. to the average closing middle market price of 43.8 pence per Novera Share for the six months up to and including 6 October 2009.

Infinis Energy believes that its Revised Offer is in the best interests of Novera shareholders given the attractive cash premium highlighted above, the relatively low liquidity of Novera Shares and its view that Novera lacks the management expertise necessary to deliver a strategy which will create value for its shareholders.

Levels of Acceptance

Prior to today's announcement, Infinis Energy owned 61,762,601 Novera Shares, representing approximately 42.6 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Novera. On 17 November 2009, Infinis Energy announced that it had received valid acceptances for its Offer in respect of 226,261 Novera Shares representing approximately 0.2 per cent. of the issued share capital of Novera.

Accordingly, Infinis Energy now either owns or has received valid acceptances which it may count towards the satisfaction of the Condition to the Revised Offer in respect of a total of 67,588,862 Novera Shares representing, in aggregate, approximately 46.7 per cent. of the issued share capital of Novera.

Acceptance Condition

The only condition to the Revised Offer is that valid acceptances are received which will result in Infinis Energy holding Novera Shares representing in aggregate more than 50 per cent. of the voting rights exercisable at a general meeting of Novera. Following today's announcement, this Condition would be fulfilled once Infinis Energy receives valid acceptances representing, in aggregate, more than 3.3 per cent. of the issued share capital of Novera.

Under Rule 35.1 of the City Code, in the event that Infinis Energy's Revised Offer has not become or been declared wholly unconditional and has been withdrawn or has lapsed otherwise than pursuant to Rule 12.1 of the City Code, Infinis Energy may not, without the consent of the Panel, within 12 months from the date on which such offer is withdrawn or lapses, amongst other things, either:

(a) announce an offer or possible offer for Novera (including a partial offer); or

(b) acquire any interest in shares of Novera or procure an irrevocable commitment in respect of shares of Novera.

Revised offer document

A revised offer document containing further terms of the Revised Offer will be sent to Novera Shareholders shortly. The Revised Offer will remain open for a period of not less than two weeks following the date on which the revised offer document is posted.

Acceptance of the Revised Offer

Novera Shareholders who wish to accept the Revised Offer and have not yet done so through acceptance of the Offer are urged to do so in the manner set out in the Offer Document and, if they hold Novera Shares in certificated form, deliver a Form of Acceptance in accordance with the instructions set out thereon and in the Offer Document as soon as practicable and in any event by no later than the final closing date, which will be set out in the revised offer document that will be posted to Novera Shareholders shortly.

Previous acceptors of the Offer

Novera Shareholders who have already accepted the Offer will obtain the benefit of, and be deemed to have accepted, the Revised Offer.Such Novera Shareholders need take no further action (assuming its Form(s) of Acceptance have been delivered valid and complete in all respects).
